The Positive Parenting Workbook: An Interactive Guide for Strengthening Emotional Connection

The positive parenting movement is growing as more and more parents are realizing that authoritarian methods and other common parenting techniques–time outs, grounding, spanking–simply don’t work. But for so many, positive parenting seems like a dream that they don’t quite know how to implement. We all know kids need boundaries and guidance, but it’s hard to set those boundaries and offer that guidance in a gentle manner. Parenting guru Rebecca Eanes has a new book to help parents figure out how to make a more gentle style work for them. The Positive Parenting Workbook is short but packed with information and ideas. Readers will love the hands-on approach this book takes to figuring things out–literally. Each chapter is short and easy to digest, but also contains various writing prompts to encourage parents to think about things: family values, bedtime routines, sibling rivalry, self-esteem…. If a topic has to do with parenting, this book will have you thinking and reflecting on it. The author’s voice, ideas, and anecdotes will give readers confidence that not only is positive parenting a good thing but they CAN do it in their own households!
